"MING XIONG! MING-XIONG! I'M SORRY, I'M SORRY IM SORRY I'M SORRY I'M SORRY I'M SORRY IM SORRYWE’RE THE ONES WHO SINNED! WE'RE THE ONES WHO ARE WRONG. IT'S MY FAULT! MY BROTHER ONLY DID WHAT HE DID BECAUSE OF ME MY BROTHER'S GONE MAD, HE'S CRAZY CAN'T YOU SEE I… YOU... YOU..."
He wanted to beg, to pray for mercy, but his pleas wouldn't leave his lips, and he could only use his eyes to kowtow.
He Xuan watched him, for a long moment and as if broken from a trance he whispered ”H-He Xuan….. I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, please, please, I’m sorry please“ He Xuan in a fleeting moment, seemed to have remembered something
He calmed and stopped, but still holding tightly to Shi wudu hair. In a flash he threw him hard against a rock knocking Shi wudu unconscious.
Seeing this caused a thread of terror and
Shi Qing Xuan shook violently, tears still
rolling down. “ No no no I’m first he’s…he’s going to kill me “ Shi Qingxuan thought.
But before he could speak he xuan walked towards him slowly and bent down. Grabbing Shi Qingxuan face hard making him look up at him.
Face unreadable and cold he said “ What did you call me.“ “He- he xuan” Shi Qingxuan said voice shaking.
He felt He Xuan hold on his face tighten, hurting him. Shi Qingxuan shook even more, breath uneven. They stayed like that for what seemed like forever
until He Xuan hissed “….. I. hate. you…… I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU ! I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU!” He Xuan screamed at him while Shi Qingxuan closed his eyes trying to move him face away.
Which only caused He Xuan to become even more angry as he let go of Shi Qingxuan face and aim for his neck instead. Choking Shi Qingxuan as he screamed “I HATE YOU !” over and over again.
Shi Qingxuan could do nothing but let himself be choked, he felt his body be deprived from air. Eyes snapping open and becoming wide as he stared at He Xuan.
He Xuan eyes were closed and tears were running down his face as he continued to say how much he hated him, how much he loth him. And then suddenly the hands around his neck loosened, taking a deep breath Shi Qingxuan continued to stare at he xuan.
Watching him sob for the longest moment before doing the only thing he could think of to do. Which was to lean towards the sobbing man and rub his head against He Xuan as a form of comfort.
Yes, He Xuan wanted him and his brother dead but Shi Qingxuan knew everything was his fault to begin with. So he couldn’t hold anything against the man in front of him.
He continued to rub his head against him soothing him. Weither He Xuan hadn’t even noticed him doing it or didn’t care. He was too much in his own feelings to stop Shi Qingxuan, to push him away, to punch, or kick him.
He sobbed, and sobbed. After a couple of minutes He xuan coming back to his senses. Tears still streaming down his face moved away from Shi Qingxuan.
Getting up, glaring at him, he threw something at Shi Qingxuan “ Get out.“ “ Huh?” Shi Qingxuan said quietly as he continued to look at the man in front of him, then looked down at what was thrown at him, his fan and as if on cue the shackles
holding his arms, snapped and released. “Get out” He Xuan repeated “H-He xu-“ “I SAID GET OUT! ” he screamed, his voice making the walls around rumble violently. Shi Qingxuan stared at he xuan then glanced down at his fan, picked it up hurriedly, and crawled to his unconscious brother, waving his fan around which created gust of wind to carry them out.
At the last moment he glanced back at the man who had captured them. The man who wanted revenge. The man who hurt him. Who betrayed him. Who ….. was his bestfriend. “ I’m so sorry He xuan ……. “
